Episode Description

Two members of our Youth Action Group teamed up to develop the three scripts you will hear which support our adult background briefing A, B and C – as set out on Page 5 of our 'Listen Up! (Respect our Rights) Secondary Age Resource.

Their brief was to portray one adult who is too busy and doesn’t listen well at all; one adult who tries to listen and is caring but is a bit over the top and emotional; and one adult who gets it pretty much right from a young person’s perspective.

The Podcast features both young people taking turns to play the part of an adult and a young person who is being bullied to support all three background briefings. Scripting of the drama scenes were all youth-led, with exaggeration for effect, and feature some humorous aspects.

The supporting learning resource to this Podcast 'Podcast Drama' is also available at: www.respectme.org.uk/listenup ref: 2023 resources. This activity is aimed at Secondary age pupils (S1 – S6).
